Can you make a sysctl variable option which when sets it enables the 
Auto-Write combining feature?

Don't have a lot of time right now however I think if one wants to
enable write-combining on some systems you may have to disable other
features for a while I had nasty problem of my sound card killing
the system and it was due to write-combine and another feature
being enabled . Just don't remember what that other feature was :(

	Tnks,
